Quote from: thevideoartist on October 20, 2016, 03:04:50 PMIt's dumbfounding how stupid politics is. It's truly become a game of appealing to the lowest common denominator votes and trying to look like the least corrupt of two essentially awful choices. Standing in a room with either of them with a limber mind you realize they're both just really good at manipulating their target audience and it has little or nothing to do with what'll happen after they're in office. It's just a game man, sucks that the pieces are millions of people and the players are sociopaths but it is just a game.See, I had the opposite opinion. I think that our political process is a work of genius. Not that the individual players are any smarter than those of us out here in the warrior wasteland but that the system itself has got us figured out. They play on our basest emotions, fear, hatred, anger and they do a spectacular job of it. Over decades they have reasoned that they can throw in the occasional religious comment or remind us of who we are supposed to hate or throw another wedge issue into the public square that will keep us all fighting with each other. The biggest fear that they have is a united proletariat, all of us out here in tv and shopping land coming together and thinking, more or less, as one. It seems like every time I see some promise that the people are starting to pull it together something new comes up for us to argue about and the public at large doesn't possess any longer the ability to discern beef from bullshit. Our current election cycle shows me that we have played right into their hands. 30 or 40 years of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us to this point and we have been conditioned to believe that we don't have the right to demand more from the system. 330 million people in this country of which probably one third to one half are of legal age to run for president and this is what we end up with?
